Some autoimmune diseases are different in women and men. A group of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has found a strong female bias in the response of a neurotransmitter receptor that is involved in many neurological processes. Their study identified the hyperactivity of the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) in the intestine and associated it with the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) in female mice.
Etcembly emerged from stealth mode in August with something it regards as seemingly impossible: A machine learning platform that has the ability to predict and engineer – at never-seen-before scale and speed – T-cell receptors (TCR) that enable bispecific T-cell engager antibodies targeting cancer cells to be produced.
Tsinghua University has described non-structural protein 3 (nsp3; PL-pro) (SARS-CoV) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of coronavirus acute respiratory syndrome.
Tarapeutics Science Inc. has identified phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase δ (PI3Kδ) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Medshine Discovery Inc. has synthesized mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP4K1; HPK1; MEKKK1) inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Medigene AG has announced a prioritization of its pipeline as it advances its differentiated T-cell receptor engineered T cell (TCR-T) therapies for solid tumors.
CVI Pharmaceuticals has presented preclinical data on their thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRB) selective agonist CVI-2742 for the potential treatment of NASH. Selective activation of the THRB contributes to ameliorating the symptoms of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), such as liver inflammation and fibrosis, hepatocyte ballooning and liver steatosis.
